Le-Dorat
Le-Dorat is found in the north-west corner of the Haute-Vienne department, a little to the north of Bellac.
The small town of Le-Dorat contains a part of its original defensive walls and attractive gardens in terraces next to the walls, and well merits an explore. Pass into the town through the Porte Bergere - originally there were four grand entrances, but now only one remains.
Inside the 15th century walls you will find some attrractive streets of medieval houses, many dating from the 16th and 17th centuries.
Above all it is for the roman style church - the Collegiale Saint-Pierre - that people visit Le Dorat.
It is one of the finest examples in the region, and features an octagonal belltower topped, on three levels (the golden angel on the arrow on top of the tower dates from the 13th century), a shorter square tower, and several other features of interest including the entrance doorway (an unusual 'wavy' design!) and the 11th century crypt.
